MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY Rev. Ted Jones MLK Day has arrived once again. Martin Luther King would have been 90 years old this past January 15. I remember meeting him following a sermon he gave in Chicago when the Student Christian Action group attended the weekly Sunday Evening Club in then- called Orchestra Hall. The year was 1965. MLK was not easily heard by conservative Christians. Aurora College (University) offered us an opportunity to hear this controversial preacher from Georgia as a number of us were bussed to hear Martin preach. It was a moving sermon. His text was from Ephesians 3:18: “So that you, together with all God’s people, may have the power to understand how broad and long, how high and deep, is Christ’s love.” He did not mention civil rights once. The Wheaton College Chorale presented the special music. The first march from Selma to Montgomery had been one week before, but met with violence from Alabama State troopers and attack dogs. Everyone, whatever you thought of MLK, thought it was disgraceful. Blacks were seeking the right to vote without being intimidated by laws that were aimed specifically at keeping them from the power of their vote. My mind began to change as someone with a white and sometimes racist attitude about ML King. Here was a master preacher and orator who spoke out of his deep religious upbringing and Baptist 8 Rumph Dining Room is Closed On Saturday This Week`s Featured Menus January 24th - 31st, 2019 NOTE: Pricing listed is the retail cost.

Ad policy: ACV members and employees may advertise. For ad information, call Member Services at 386-658-5400. The FNN is published weekly under the auspices of the Member Services Office with the aid of volunteers. As an official publication of the membership of the Advent Christian Village (ACV), Dowling Park, FL (www.acvillage.net), its purpose is to inform the ACV community (members and staff) of events, news, and services. The FNN, funded by membership fees, is delivered (without charge) by volunteers to on-campus members and to residents of the satellite communities of DM, DPN, and BA. Additional copies are distributed to the Village Square, Lodge, and Information Center for visitors. All member and staff ads for your own personal items will be strictly limited to a maximum of eight lines and will be run for two weeks. The ad must include the person listing the ad (not necessarily published). Deadline for submissions is Tuesday by noon of the week for publication and may be sent by email to [email protected], dropped off in the FNN box behind the IC, or to Ann Bembry at Member Services. Editorial Staff: Paul Cook, Anne Donohoe, Marjorie Easter, and Verna Piper Simpson.
